COVER PHOTO: Dead snail shells (Satsuma mercatoria) arranged non-randomly on the ground. The nest of a snail-eating predator is in the ground, and the left snail has just been dragged by its soft body part into the burrow and preyed upon. Sato et al. (this issue; Article e4245; doi:10.1002/ecy.4245) found that this predator is Anthracalaus sakaguchii, a click beetle whose larval stage was unknown for all species in the genus. Larvae have a novel predatory strategy, using self-dug burrows to ambush land snails. This is an interesting case for advancing the study of predator-prey interactions between predators and land snails. Photo credit: Nozomu Sato.

封面照片：死去的蜗牛壳（Satsuma Mercatoria）非随机地排列在地面上。一只吃蜗牛的捕食者的巢在地下，左边的蜗牛刚刚被它柔软的身体部分拖进洞穴并被捕食。佐藤等人。（本期；文章 e4245；doi:10.1002/ecy.4245）发现这种捕食者是Anthracalaus sakaguchii，一种点击甲虫，该属所有物种的幼虫阶段均未知。幼虫有一种新颖的捕食策略，利用自挖的洞穴伏击陆地蜗牛。这是推进捕食者和陆地蜗牛之间捕食者与被捕食者相互作用的研究的一个有趣的案例。图片来源：佐藤望。
